Compass and Bixpy

Got a chance to take out the Hobie and play around with my new Bixpy motor today.

Bixpy is a San Diego company and have just brought their modular motor system to market.

I purchased one with the mirage kit and took it out today for the first time. It is light weight and is controlled by a handheld wireless remote. It pulled my compass around at about 4.5 mph. I used it for around an hour and the charge indicator showed I had only used about 1/6 of the battery.

At around 1000.00 it is cheaper than a Torqueedo. It doesn’t have a gps feature like the evolve, so you have to keep an eye on your available battery power left. A little noisy, but less whinny than an Evolve. Easier to put in and take out as you don’t have to worry about prop alignment.

I’m know powering a kayak is not for everyone, but it is nice to have another choice if you do.
